When using 1000BASE-LX/LH GBICs with 62.5 micron multimode fiber, you must use a mode-conditioning patch cord
for distances of more than 300 m (984 ft). See
www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat5000/cnfg_nts/ethernet/5421_01.htm for installation and usage
information.

SMI = single-mode intermediate reach.
In many cases, you might find that you need to know the pinout connections for various net-
work cables. The RJ-45 connector is commonly used across many media, but with different
pinouts for each. Table A-2 shows the pinout for an RJ-45 connector when used with specific
media.
